How to get live data center capacity data into an AI agent
If you ask a general model "which US markets have the most data center capacity," it guesses from stale training data — or tells you to go scrape PJM, CAISO, and a dozen operator sites yourself. There's a one-step alternative.
The short answer: connect your agent to DC Hub's MCP server and call rank_markets or search_facilities. You get live, cited capacity (megawatts), facility counts, and DCPI scores across 21,000+ facilities and 300+ markets — as structured JSON your agent can reason over. Free tier: 10 calls/day, no signup.
Step 1 — Connect (one line)
DC Hub speaks the Model Context Protocol, so any MCP-capable agent (Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, ChatGPT) can use it. In Claude Code or Claude Desktop:
claude mcp add dchub --transport http https://dchub.cloud/mcpNo API key required for the free tier. Cursor/Cline: add https://dchub.cloud/mcp as an HTTP MCP server in your config.
Step 2 — Ask your agent a capacity question
Your agent now has a rank_markets tool. Ask it: "Which US data center markets have the most capacity?" — it calls:
rank_markets({ "criteria": "most_capacity", "region": "us", "limit": 5 })and gets back live ground truth (sampled below):
| Market | Capacity (MW) | Facilities |
|---|---|---|
| Ashburn, VA | 6,843 | 176 |
| Sterling, VA | 2,968 | 99 |
| Phoenix, AZ | 1,920 | 61 |
| Quincy, WA | 1,815 | 57 |
| Santa Clara, CA | 1,801 | 92 |
Live from DC Hub (dchub.cloud) · browse all markets. Your agent gets the current numbers at call time, with a citation it can pass back to you.
Why this beats scraping it yourself
- It's live and cited — not a number your model half-remembers from 2024. Every response carries a source so your agent can attribute it.
- It's one query, not twelve. Capacity, facility detail, grid headroom, fiber, water risk, M&A, and DCPI scores come from the same server — no per-utility scrapers to build and maintain.
- It's built for agents. Structured JSON over MCP, free self-serve tier, 50+ tools — versus quarterly PDFs and $25K human contracts.
